Yes. He is not obligated to lay you off. You would have a choice of finding different work OR filing for partial unemployment benefits because of substantial reduction in you hours that is not within your own control. Most states allow benefits under these conditions.

Is it legal for an employer to move you from 1 shift to another and reduce your pay?

Absent a contract between you and your employer stating otherwise, yes, your employer may change your shift as your employer controls your schedule. The only exception to this would be for workers under 18 (child labor laws tend to limit when juveniles can work). Your employer may also reduce your pay, though not retroactively, as long as they meet the minimum wage and again, as long as you do not have a contract that states otherwise. Local laws may vary but typically do not; and as with anything, your employer cannot make these types of decisions, especially with regards to pay, for a discriminatory or illegal reason (e.g. retaliation for "blowing the whistle" where you are protected by law from such retaliation).
